La Mer: an endless source of inspiration for artists from Claude Debussy to Charles Trenet. It really doesn’t have to be the Côte d’Azur or the Mediterranean coasts. Ostend was Europe’s leading seaside town in the late 19th century. A place where you could enjoy sun, sea and beach. Where one could parade among the beau monde. Where you could simultaneously listen and be seen at the Kursaal’s renowned concerts and recitals. They had the very greatest conductors and composers on the rostrum and the largest stars in classical music were visiting… and one James Sidney Edouard Ensor was in the loyal audience. The quirky painter was a loyal guest at the Théâtre Royale d’Ostende.

Elgar & Friends | Ensor Festival

Kursaal Oostende

Ô-Celli is a human journey initiated by Sébastien Walnier and Alexandre Beauvoir, who gathered solo cellists from orchestras and chamber musicians, including Jean-Pierre Borboux, the second soloist of the OPRL. Their concerts are invitations to embark on a musical voyage, transcending time and crossing stylistic boundaries. Since 2011, the year of their first concerts, the group of eight musicians from Brussels has held one guiding principle: pleasure! From Gershwin to Piazzolla, through Noben and Bernstein, "in the end, it is always music that prevails" (Michel Legrand).

Ô-Celli Happy Hour!

Salle Philharmonique de Liège

From its rousing opening chords and famous waltz melody to the melancholy funeral march and on to the rapid finale: almost no work is quite as evocative as Beethoven’s Third Symphony. Conductor Benjamin Haemhouts and Casco Phil will together present this musical monument “to the memory of a great man”, as Beethoven himself said after he initially dedicated the symphony to Napoleon Bonaparte, but later changed his mind. And just in case one icon wasn’t enough, the programme will include another hit: Joseph Haydn’s Second Cello concerto.
